Changes to be made

I will more than likely be changing the name of of this wonderful blog locale because REALLY, I'm not doing any kind of "best books of spring" fun-fest anymore. :-)

It was fun during spring, but alas, time has moved on and we're now in summer.

More changes to come later - site is now under construction....

Cast your votes for BEST children's book of spring

All nominees are in place.

Please see the choices on the previous blog entry.

And comment here on which one should be the winner out of the 5 choices!

Let me know which book is your favorite and why!

And by this weekend we'll see who comes out on top.

All the best,
Lucy

Calling all moms, kids, big kids and CHILDREN'S BOOK lovers!

BEST CHILDREN'S BOOK OF SPRING

I marvel at how children's books transport us to a whole other plateau; or in the words of
my son, a whole other "realm". Kudos to him for coming up with that one.

Books in general are a whole other world, but children's books really do stand apart for the
whimsy, fantasy and the uplifting feelings that they impart.

I get all animated when I read to my kids - it's so much fun! Puts me in a fun state of
mind; oh and it puts them in a fun and expanded state of mind!

In honor of all those awesome children's books out there and the authors who create them,
I'm going to have a contest - which book will be the favorite #1 winner?

1. Do you have a book that your children absolutely love?

2. How about one that you absolutely love?

3. Is there a book that you know of that just doesn't get as much credibility as it should?

I'd love to hear your feedback...please drop me a comment with your book nominee or send a message to funbooks4kids09@gmail.com.

I'll add more nominees to the list below, based on the feedback that I receive, and then
we'll do a vote for the Best Children's Book of Spring.

* Deadline for nominee suggestions: March 31st 2009*

* Deadline for your vote on the best book: April 4th 2009*
